Figure in the Mist

In a time before recorded history, an oracle predicts a tragedy in the land that had been their home for many years. The prophecy foreshadows the American Civil War and how it devastates one particular family, the Thornton's, and the town that loved them. As predicted, a curse rains terror and sorrow on anyone who attempt to live on the old Thornton family farm. The history of the town is filled with evil and mysterious occurrences. After many years of decay, the quaint little town that survived extinction now struggles with all the dangers of out-of-control urban sprawl and the farm is all but forgotten. A retired contractor, Tony O'Neill, and his wife, Carol, attempt to live their retirement dream and establish a vineyard on the old abandoned property. This dream seems doomed to failure as the curse is exposed. Faced with a greedy mayor, dishonest real estate developers, poor grape harvests, and broken retirement dreams, the town and current occupants are faced with what seems like a final attack on nature itself. Tony and Carol, beloved leaders in the community, wish to remain in their home but may have to sell the farm. But Tony is the only person who can stand up to the mayor and stop the corporate destruction of the quaint little town. Tony befriends a mysterious wounded hunter who's lost his memory or is Tony just buckling under the stress. Will the curse succeed once again or can the curse finally be lifted?
